"Some of America's bravest-soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardians, and marines-will be spending Christmas far from their families so we can spend ours safely at home," said Point of Grace's Denise Jones. "We're partnering with American Bible Society to bring hope and encouragement to America's military."

More recently, American Bible Society has helped provide more than 2.2 million scripture resources custom-tailored to meet the unique needs of military service personnel or veterans.

"It is a great honor to provide Bibles to those who give so much to protect our nation and our freedom," said Retired Col. Jim Puchy, American Bible Society. "I know firsthand of the incessant and unsettling pressures of military life and how only God's Word can help when faced with trauma, grief and painful experiences that are, unfortunately, a reality of military life."
